This year's Tatton soundtrack might have to include: It only happens when it rains, raindrops keep falling on my head, singing in the rain... I could go on, so please let me know if you have any less clichéd suggestions. But, there's no getting away from it, the weather for the build up has been truly appalling. It's been a challenge for the show organisers, garden designers, nursery folk and TV crews alike. High-vis jacket-wearing was extended the full duration of press day yesterday as conditions got muddier.
But against such odds, they have all delivered a fantastic flower show, sunshine bright with colour. And somehow, against the wet, slate-coloured skies, the plants of high summer seem all the more vibrant. From show gardens to nursery stands, the stars of the show are easily gem-like crocosmias in a glorious range of orange shades from tangerine to gold; flat heads of raspberry ripple achilleas are also stand out performers.
But my favourite plant combination today was the gorgeously delicate Agrostis nebulosa with Astrantia 'Roma' - a fuzzy cloud of bronze grass with jewel-like blooms just peeping through, unfazed by the downpours, raindrops glistening prettily as the sun re-emerged.

When an entire culture crumbles and disappears - there is a reason we ought to find. Crumbling cultures are like our today's economy that survives only a a result of Trillions of dollars emergency help to delay the long time overdue end of a huge mistake endangering our entire planet.
All those cultures who have failed to bring mutual benefits to all without nature destruction and without violation of God's first commandment of love are meant to be dropped and replaced by a more loving culture. To learn there is no need to destroy major parts of nature or jungle. To learn from past mistakes also is possible by looking at the past 50-100 years of our current time filled with ample amounts of substantial mistakes against humanity, nature and thus also against God.
Crumbling nature covered temple ruins are recycled by the healing power of nature and should be left behind.
